    Boom won't stop on it's own

    I do. We took the main valve assembly apart again (impatient) and found that one of the O rings was deformed. I replaced it, very carefully, and it fixed the problem, mostly. The boom up/down will now stop when I let off on the joystick, but the fork tilt still continues to move, albeit very...

    Boom won't stop on it's own

    Hey everyone, in my constant effort to fix the leaks on my old telehandler, I've run into an issue where the boom and fork tilt won't stop moving when I release the handle. It will stop if operating down, but not going up and if I tap the handle the other direction, it stops. This is a 1999...

    Terex SS1048 possible check valve issue?

    Hey folks, I posted about the sway not working on this machine, but haven't received any comments. I may not have titled it correctly, so here's an update and re-post (I'll delete the other as soon I figure out how to). The sway (frame level) isn't working, despite everything else hydraulic...

    '99 Terex SS1048 Sway Not Working

    Hey again everyone. In my quest to get my 99 Terex SS1048 in operating condition I found the sway not working. Everything else in the hydraulic system works well, except the sway (frame leveling). The solenoid valves and coils are both new and working. Removed the sway speed valve and it...

    Terex w/Cummins B3.9C won't start

    Hey everyone, thanks so much for the help! Just as a followup, we did virtually everything suggested and still couldn't get it started. It was getting plenty of fuel but and acted like it wanted to start, but wouldn't. Lot's of smoke though. We had a couple exhaust leaks that needed fixed and...

    Terex w/Cummins B3.9C won't start

    We were told that he drained the water out and replaced the filter. Is there more? I don't know. So, we're going to do everything you just recommended. Just to be sure. Thanks

    Terex w/Cummins B3.9C won't start

    I think you're right. When it starts, it does so within about 3 to 5 seconds of cranking. When it doesn't start, it blows black smoke. Took the extremely dirty air filter off but it didn't start. When it starts it runs smooth and there's no unusual smoke. Especially O ce it warms up just a...

    Terex w/Cummins B3.9C won't start

    So, we got it home. The guy that sold it to us said it had water in the fuel (not sure if he's telling the truth). Regardless, he got it started and loaded, sat on the truck two days where it started right up, without any delay, to unload it. Warmed it up and drove it two blocks to the shop...

    Terex w/Cummins B3.9C won't start

    Thank you. It does have some hours on it so I'm sure the compression is low. But I'm a little stumped as far as the fact it went from starting and running to not. The cold situation you mention does make sense to me. I'll have him try heating the manifold like you said. The battery is new, but...

    Terex w/Cummins B3.9C won't start

    It will not start on ether. I don't know about the fuel solenoid but the guy I have out there mentioned it last night. We'll try and check that today. If there's no power to the solenoid or it's bad, will that keep it from starting even on ether?

    Terex w/Cummins B3.9C won't start

    Thanks guys, we did plug it in and also bled the fuel line and replaced the fuel filter, so I don't think it's a gelled fuel issue. I did at one point though. I'll send them the info on checking the screens too. Thanks

    Terex w/Cummins B3.9C won't start

    Hello everyone. I recently bought a 99 Terex 1048 with a Cummins B3.9C. It was running fine when I bought it 2 weeks ago. Sent a truck to pick it up (700 miles) and it wouldn't start. Between the time I bought it and sent someone to get it the temps dropped to about 16 degrees and the block...
